Just caught this on the weather bug, moved the truck out from under the tree and the bike back in the garage

Its getting awfully dark here in Clarence Center. I may have to bring the truck into the warehouse to avoid this hail if it happens.

I hope it dents my car so I can get the pre-existing roof dent taken out

It’s pitch black here in Amherst, n.forest near millersport. Wind has really picked up but no rain or hail yet. I have a spotter 6 miles N.E. of me and she’s going to call if they start getting hail so I can book ass home to the garage.
